We have gone quite separate ways since the end of the 1940s, and I do admit to having felt flattered that he should have made this request of me. For me, this book was quite literally a turning back of the pages of time. As much as one may feel that they have a good recollection of one's school days, reading Charlie's script reminded me of so very many incidents that took place during our careers at J.C. that had completely escaped my recollection. His own recall of people, events and circumstances I found to be quite amazing. As one might imagine, Jamaica College has changed dramatically since the days of the 1940s.

The first two chapters explore the failure of the executors to promptly implement Drax’s wishes and the college’s early development from its establishment by the Act of 1802, to the late nineteenth century. The work of the new School’s Commission in the reorganization of the Drax Free School as the Jamaica Free School, the impact of the relocation of the school to Hope in St. Andrew, and the CHAPTERschool’s 1 role in the development of early tertiary education are examined. Over the years various events and traditions have contributed to the college’s history. Boarding, social prejudice, the first magazine and a headmaster’s attempt to make short pants and long socks the uniform are all chronicled.
